Bereavement Leave

In 9. Tardiness & Absenteeism
Tagged Absenteeism, Death of a Family Member, Employee Relations Handbook

The County Ordinance Code and the various MOUs provide that sick leave may be used for the employee’s preparation for or attendance at the funeral of a member of the immediate family. Immediate family is defined as parent, spouse, domestic partner, son, daughter, sibling, stepchild, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparent, or grandchild.

Even though sick leave may not be used for attending the funeral of individuals who do not meet the definition above, use of accrued vacation, compensatory time or holiday time is appropriate.

Managers and supervisors are strongly urged to make every effort to allow employees to be excused from work for attending funerals of friends and relatives who are not members of the immediate family.
